Add NEXT Action

The NEXT action is used within repetitive action statements like WHILE and FOR to go directly to the next iteration without completing the current one.

NEXT allows you to perform an action on some but not all entities TARGETED in a repetitive action. For example, in the following statement, you are interested only in input products with code WI.

Note: The head of the arrow in the NEXT action shows which action group terminates and which action group gains control. The second part of the diagram shows how you can specify control to other action groups with the NEXT action.

This diagram shows the Add NEXT Action:

You want to ASSOCIATE those input products with an available bin in a warehouse. If you find a code other than WI you do not want to stop the entire process; you simply do not want to ASSOCIATE that product with a warehouse bin.
